We must fix what can be fixed, give life to what can be created, bring in what can be bought in anew; move on from what is dead & gone. We must not dwell on the past for a graveyard is no place to build our home. We will craft a future out of loyalty, respect and care for one another, not out of ego, spite or greed. That I promise to each and every one of you.
